Bulletin 2004-1: Commission Rate for Small Employer Health Plans
The Oregon Insurance Division issued Bulletin 2004-1 to prohibit health insurers from varying commission rates for small employer health plans based on the number of employees or enrollees. The regulator mandates that commission percentages or per-enrollee amounts must remain consistent regardless of group size to comply with Oregon insurance laws. Furthermore, commissions for 2-25 employee groups must equal or exceed those for HIPAA plans and large employer groups to prevent disincentives for producers.
